Pick Up Man

Well i got my first truck, when i was three,
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before
I hauled a barbie doll bed for the girl next door
When she paid me with a kiss i began to understand,
There's just something women like about a pickup man

When i turned sixteen, i saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
Started cruisin' the town and the first girl i seen
Was bobbie jo gentry the homecoming queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said
"i never knew you were a pickup man!"

(chorus)
You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
But i still wouldn't trade it for a coupe deville
It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams,
You know there's something women like about a pickup man

Most friday nights, i can be found
In the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand,
There's just something women like about a pickup man

Chorus

A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
Once around the block and you'll know what i mean

Chorus
